Die My Love has been one of my most anticipated films of the year. While it may not connect with some audience members, the more I’ve thought about it, the more I appreciate what director Lynne Ramsay is doing. While I’m glad that Die My Love is doing well at the box office, audience reactions reveal a concerning trend in viewer engagement with challenging films.
Learning to play an instrument takes significant time and effort, especially when learning independently. As a mostly self-taught guitarist, I have found the internet, particularly YouTube, to be an excellent resource; watching another musician explain how to play a song allows me to grow as a musician by learning music I could not have figured out on my own. I like to follow tutorials on YouTube in conjunction with a tab on Ultimate Guitar, my go-to website for chords and tabs of almost any song I want to play. The following musicians are a few of my favorite YouTube creators who teach acoustic pop songs for solo guitar.
Cornell became the fifth university to reach a settlement agreement with the Trump administration on Friday, agreeing to a mix of financial and policy concessions to restore federal funding and dismiss civil rights lawsuits.
A Faculty Senate resolution condemning the University's disciplinary process against Eric Cheyfitz, a former professor in literatures in English, failed to pass a vote on Oct. 31.
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death, his 501(c) nonprofit conservative activist organization Turning Point USA has drawn renewed national attention. TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist features four Cornell faculty members: Monica Cornejo, Russell Rickford, Bruce Monger and Sarah Pritchard.
With more than half of all students living on or within two miles of campus, it’s not surprising that 80% commute sustainably, with most walking, to classes, according to surveys by Cornell Transportation. But Cornell also supports a range of other sustainable commuting options as well.
I was three years old, in diapers and pigtails, the first time I canvassed for a politician. My mom pushed me around in an off-brand Hello Kitty stroller as we went door to door for Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign.
The third annual Cornell Food Hackathon, a competition in which students propose product ideas to address food industry challenges, was held in Stocking Hall from Nov. 7 to 9.
This morning, Ithaca woke up to its first snowfall of the year, a sight many of us surely can’t believe. You might be asking yourself: “Wait, if winter starts in six weeks, why are we seeing snow already?”
Scrolling through TikTok or Instagram, it's hard to avoid the wave of strong opinions on politics. Social media influencers who once shared makeup tips or dance challenges are now discussing political endorsements, reminding others to register to vote and explaining policies in short videos. For many students voting for the first time, these creators are often the most prominent and influential voices they encounter. Whether this shift is positive or negative for honest civic engagement remains to be seen.
When ChatGPT can do your homework, you might wonder: What’s the point of a university? These days, many people are questioning what universities are good for, and whether they might be as out-of-date as dial-up internet. Maybe today’s universities should be changed: different kinds of classes, different kinds of degrees, different kinds of campus life. Or maybe they should evolve into something that doesn’t look like today’s colleges at all.
‘Tis the season of having countless browser tabs open scattered across CUReviews, Scheduler, decade-old Reddit threads and RateMyProfessor. Around this time of year, one of my favorite guilty pleasures during class time is to explore the course offerings for next semester. My half-dozen unrealistic, yet colorful, Scheduler creations really do bring me joy. Until it’s time to actually register for them, and the combination of my slow Wi-Fi and one-sixteenth of a second delay obliterate my Fridayless academic dreams.
“If you never hear from me, all the satellites are down,” George Miller, known to the music world as Joji, murmurs through walls of heavy distortion and reverb. The satellites, in fact, have been down for a while; 2022’s Smithereens and its ensuing tour, cut short for health reasons, offered the last glimpse anyone would get of Joji for the next three years.
I have never loved a singular piece of media more than the Charlie Brown television specials. The old DVDs stack neatly downstairs in my home, stained with glitter glue and cookie crumbs. I know for certain my brother and I have seen each special at least a dozen times. Our favorite stretch of them was the big three coinciding with the end of the year: It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Harry Potter, Iron Man, Rory Gilmore, Frodo Baggins — when someone mentions these names, our minds do not go to a blurry and undefined image of a character, but to a specific actor or actress. We think of Daniel Radcliffe, Robert Downey Jr., Alexis Bledel and Elijah Wood. Yes, it might be Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, but the mental image is still the performer. Yet, this shift of thinking of the character independently to thinking of them entwined with the actor/actress doesn’t happen for every role; it only occurs for the most iconic and well-known franchises.
Last Friday evening, in the deepening twilight, I caught a 15-minute bus into Ithaca, looking not for dinner or a drink but for something a bit more elusive to start off the weekend. Disembarking from the bus, I turned away from the heart of the Commons and went around a corner to the independent Buffalo Street Books store. Stepping inside, I turned another small corner and entered the homely room where Buffalo Street Books hosts a variety of events throughout the year. However, this Friday’s event was made particularly special by the night’s featured readers: First-year MFA candidates currently pursuing their degrees at Cornell University.
Benjamin Houlton, the Ronald P. Lynch Dean of Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, was announced as one of two finalists in the race for Iowa State University’s next president on Nov. 4.
